ObjectiveIn order to study the effect of three-month rehabilitation on motor function in hemiplegics after stroke. Methods125 patients were randomly divided into two groups, rehabilitation group (72 cases)and control group(53 cases).Patients in the rehabilitation group were given clinical treatment,electric stimulation therapy(EST) and regularly physical therapy, while those in control group were given clinical treatment and unguided self-training, and the evaluation was done in pre-treatment and post-three-month respectively. Motor function was assessed in Fugl-Meyer Assessment(FMA).ResultsMotor scores in each group had a more significant difference(P<0.001)before and after treatment, the process of scores in the rehabilitation group was obviously superior to that in the control group(P<0.001). Conclusions Rehabilitation training on hemiplegics after stroke may obviously improve motor function, depressing the disability and increasing the living quality.

Objective:Through a study on knowledge, attitudes, and practice of tobacco control of medical staff in Gansu Province, the paper aims to analyze the issues of participation, community tobacco control leadership and other aspects that impact the creation of a smoke-free healthcare system in order to provide a basis for the formulation of policies to improve the health professional mechanism of tobacco control. Methods:The stratified cluster sampling method was adopted to select 34 companies, accounting for a total of 805 medical staff as the study population in all kinds of health institutions. A self-designed questionnaire was adopted to investigate their knowledge, attitudes, and practice via on-site self-administered surveys. Results:the medical staff lacks knowledge as to the depth and breadth of damage from the use of tobacco. Although their attitude towards tobacco control is positive, the comprehensive to-bacco control service capabilities are insufficient. Logistic regression analysis showed that tobacco control capabilities of medical staff is related to their attitude toward smoking and whether or not they discourage smoking or asking about smoking . Conclusion:The key to the creation of a smoke-free health system to lead the community in tobacco control is the targeted tobacco cessation knowledge and skills training of medical staff to reduce smoking rates among medical staff and enhance the awareness of administrative staff.

Purpose To reconstruct perfusion computerized tomography angiography (PCTA) images from the volume data of low-dose brain CT perfusion scan with iterative reconstruction algorithm, to analyze the capability of PCTA on the display of brain arteries, and to explore the methods to reduce the radiation dose for stroke CT examinations. Materials and Methods This was a prospective study, 55 patients (605 arterial segments) with clinical diagnosis of ischemic cerebrovascular disease underwent cranial CT scan, iterative algorithm low-dose brain CT perfusion scan and conventional cranial CTA examinations using a 256-slice spiral CT. 11 segments of the cerebral artery in each case were analyzed using conventional CTA results as the reference standard to assess the display of brain arteries in PCTA. Results Effective dose of CT perfusion scan was 2.12 mSv. Among the 580 vessel segments which CTA showed no stenosis or stenosis<30%, only one vessel segment of PCTA was inconsistent with CTA; among the 19 vessel segments which CTA showed stenosis≥30%but not occluded, results of 12 vessel segments in PCTA were consistent with CTA, while the stenosis states were exaggerated by PCTA in the other seven vessel segments;results of the two methods were consistent in six vessel segments which was found occluded by CTA. Kw values were >0.75 for the consistency test between PCTA and CTA on the display of brain arteries. Conclusion Radiation dose of iterative algorithm cranial CT perfusion scan is significantly lower, and the images reconstructed from the volume data of perfusion CT are highly consistent with the CTA results, thus are able to meet the needs of the clinical diagnosis.

Objective:
To compare the diagnostic consistency and efficacy of arthroscopy and MRI on the severity of acute lateral ligament complex (LLC) injury, and to find an effective method to diagnose acute LLC injury accurately in early stage.
Methods:
Data of 37 patients (27 males, 10 females), with acute lateral ligament complex injury who were treated from February 2015 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. The average age was 28.6±6.2 years (range, 18-42 years) and duration from injury to operation was 4.6±3.3 days (range, 0.3-8 days). The results of MRI and ankle arthroscopy for detecting LLC injury were compared, and the consistency between the two examination results was analyzed.
Results:
Different consistencies were found between the two examination methods according to different parts of LCC injuries. The consistency of injuries (partial tear,complete tear) at the starting point of anterior talofibular ligament and complete tear at the starting point of calcaneofibularliga-ment was ordinary (kappa=0.641, 0.624, 0.680), while the consistency of damage in other parts of LLC was poor (kappa< 0.4). Compared with arthroscopy, MRI has a diagnostic accuracy of 62% (23/37) for partial tear of anterior talofibular ligament, and 62% (23/37) for complete tear. And that of the calcaneofibularligament complete tear was 78% (29/37).
Conclusion
MRI had low capability in detecting the severity of acute LLC injury accurately and the diagnosing efficacy was insufficient, while ar-throscopic exploration had a high diagnostic value for acute ankle joint injuries.
